Are "Special Characters' Visits" procedurally generated?

Well, yesterday i was cycling between about 4 days to see if i could get a villager out, and noticed something else:

On the days that had someone visiting (like Redd or Saharah), no matter how many times i got to prepare the day, the visitor would be there every exact day.


For example: Redd is supposed to be on my town in 2/6. So while i was cycling redd would always show up on 2/6 (and Saharan on 2/5). So i tried to "exploit" this to also prove if visits aren't really random: I've been TT'ing to 5:58 so the day resets and can get stuff from Redd. So far it seems to be working, while Redd is always there, what he sells changes everytime i TT to reset the day. So far i've gotten 4 different genuine art pieces in just one day.


I don't know if this works with other visits yet. I'm planning to travel back to January 5th, since that's the day Gracie visited me. If this works with her as well, this could be helpful for rushing things that are otherwise hard to get, such as Katrina's store in Main Street (you just could have your characters read their fortune, reset the day by TT'ing to 5:58 and then to a time where the tent is open) and the T&T Emporium.


This means the visits are not randomly generated, but procedurally generated; using a seed that may come from anywhere (i believe it has to do with the town layout). Has anyone else tried this?
